Hi All,
Spent most of the day checking out a few wetland sites on the east side of Brisbane, turning up a few good species.
At Dowse Lagoon, Sandgate, there was a flock of perhaps 15 Whiskered Terns and a single Glossy Ibis.
At the wetlands off the end of Toombul St there was at least 8 Red-kneed Dotterels, 4 Red-necked Avocets and several Sharp-tailed Sandpipers.
Buff-banded Rails were seen at three different spots.
At Minnippi there was a pair of Channel-billed Cuckoos and an Australian Koel. Surely the first time I’ve seen my first-of-season Koel before hearing one.
Any questions let me know.
Regards and good birding!
Nick Leseberg
